Primos Smog

Very helpful and friendly. Quick service, reasonable rates. Thanks Miguel!

I took a Honda civic to get a smog check today and it was a great experience. Go on the website to find the best coupons. We were in and out in 15 minutes and the guy working was super nice.
I went on an early Saturday afternoon and did not have to wait at all.

I took my Highlander in to Primos for a Smog Check. Mario was very friendly, both on the phone and in person. Quick and efficient service. Thank you
…Later in December, also took our Prius to Primos — same great service

I am Florida transplant so this was my first Smog test in my new 12 year old Nissan in Cali. It was an amazing experience — fast, quick, and I used my $ 20 Unilocal coupon! They really took the time to explain the procedure, time line, etc. The whole process took only 15 minutes. Seriously… check them out if you need a smog test. You wouldn’t be disappointed — promise.

Went to Primos for smog check, they gave me $ 20 off. Friendly staff & great customer service.

Wow. Quick, simple, reasonably priced.
Cannot expect for any more from a smog test facility.
Called Miguel, he answered all of my questions over the phone, 2 minutes later I was at the shop, and it seemed like I was in and out within a matter of under 5 minutes.
If you live in this area, you would be foolish to get your car smogged anywhere else!
Thanks Miguel and your team for a very quick and painless service!!!

Courteous, fast, affordable, and professional, they were able to smog my 30 foot RV, no problem. I’d been worried I would have to call around for days, but their space was big enough, and it was super cheap.
I called after business hours and someone called back quickly to schedule me in for the next morning. I really appreciate getting this done so fast, cause the paperwork was due a few days later.
Thanks, Primos. I’ll definitely come back next time I need a smog.

if i could give these guys a sixth star, i would!
i initially decided to try Primos because they offered free re-​tests – just in case. i brought my 2001 pickup truck for a smog just as another car finished, so there was no wait. it was literally less than 10 minutes (i didn’t even have time to break out my button-​mashing skills on the SFII machine).
miguel put on a movie for me in their small waiting area, but it barely got past the opening credits before i was out of there. great price, nice dudes, super easy. (NOTE: it seems that pre-​2000 cars may take a little longer and cost a bit more because they need to undergo more extensive testing, not just here but everywhere.)

Went to Primos for a smog today. I waited in line less than ten minutes without an appointment and the smog itself took less than 5 (2015 model). The owner was really nice and honored the price quoted on the phone. Great little shop for a smog!

My old-​ass (22 years & counting) vehicle had been sitting for 3 years due to an economical deficit! Found this place on Groupon; they were offering a coupon, which I later found out was for vehicles manf after the year 2000! But, when I talked to Miguel (owner with his brother), he told me he would take care of me.
So, I left DMV (damned motor vehicles) & rushed over there. From the outside, it don’t look like much; pulled in and it was cleaner than my house! Miguel & his brother were fast, efficient and thorough. They made sure I was comfy in the tiny waiting area.
Even though the groupon did not apply, they STILL gave me a discount and I was out the door at $ 50 WITH certificate in hand.
What more can we ask for? I’ll go back to them and refer to my friends as long as they stay in business.

Primos was awesome. They really take care of you. I am definitely coming back next year.

These guys are the best! Awesome customer service, easy to make an appointment and when I arrived they took care of me in the time they promised. They are very affordable and offer superior service. I highly recommend :)

Friendly owner. Straightforward, easy!

This place is exactly what everyone has said it would be! The owner is extremely friendly, professional and quick. He keeps his shop very clean and he informs you what is going on. When he is done, he let’s you know what the process is from here. So informative. I am totally impressed and will go again in two years.

Quickest service I have ever done. I received a smog for a dmv clearance. They place is clean and they are very respectful. I recommend their service. My daughter accompanied me and she even said wow they are very professional. Called before i arrive and they were there ready on schedule for my smog. Best of the best…

I procrastinated on my car reg renewal for no good reason, and finally did it online last night, a little more than a week before its due date.
Aw crap, DMV needed it smogged.
Luckily, the internets pointed me toward Primos, as well a nice coupon (better than the $ 20 Unilocal one). I called the next morning, meaning today, around 8:15. Sure, they said, come in any time. I arrived at 8:45, they kindly accepted my coupon, and I was out of there by 9, smog passed.
I have memories of sitting around well over an hour the last time I needed a smog (at a place on Lakeshore), and I don’t recall that business having a Super Street Fighter II cabinet either. Now, if Primos had a Super Street Fighter II Turbo, then we’d be talking six stars. But they’ll have to settle for five this time, for taking a necessary hassle that I usually dread and making it very nearly painless.
By the way, according to a sign their standard smog price seems to be $ 70.

Just got my car smog test done at Primo’s and had to share. What a great experience. In and out in less than 20 minutes. Miguel (I believe that is his name) was awesome. Super nice and professional. I had a coupon for a discounted test but even at full price, Primo’s is worth it. Support these guys and their killer local business. I’ll definitely be bringing any other vehicle I need to smog to Primo’s Smog. Also they got a Street Fighter II Championship Edition arcade machine to help pass the time while you wait. But you will not have to wait long. I highly recommend using Primo’s Smog.

Saw some reviews on Unilocal and called around. All the shops were about the same in price. Primos gave me an out the door price and a free re-​test. No one else offered that.
Came in today and they remembered the call I made. Very friendly and explained what they were doing every step. Took about 15 to 20 minutes. Out of there and back to work within my 30 minute lunch break. I’ll be bring all my cars there when they need their smogs.
Thank you Primos!

I dont know a thing about smog other than that the DMV told me I needed to have my car Smogged. I was visiting a friend and she told me about Primos Smog so I went by to check it out. The owner was really nice and explained to me what was needed, well, in a way that I could understand at least! I got my car taken care of quick enough that I was able to waste the rest of my day at the DMV. I wish the DMV was this easy…
Thanks guys!

Dudes and Dudettes!
This place is the place to go for all your smoggin needs. If humans could get smogged, I’d get smogged there too. It’s not fair only cars get to do it.
I got my big RV smogged there and they did it no problem. Gave me a good deal too.
Miguel and his bro were so nice, professional, on task, and it’s hard to believe they just opened up this place. Lets give em some Oakland local love cuz they definitely deserve it.
Thank you Primos!
